Read the whole thread, It is all there. Rick

I am not disputing the fact that GL screwed up but I believe they did offer his money back. I am not trying to make him out to be the bad guy, I am trying to stay neutral. If he had previewed the truck and this came about then he would have grounds for reimbursement for travel but since he did...

The clutch load will not be an issue. The 6.2 came with a standard transmission in thousands of trucks and wreckers.

If you bought number XXXX and it was the vehicle that was not there then they owe you a truck or your money back. whether he marked it by mistake or not that vehicle was attached to that number so therefor it was the item you bought. I am curious to know how someone else got the truck out if you...

Find any 3/4 or 1 ton Chevy pick up with the standard trans and grab all of the stuff. I do not know exact years but they are pretty much universal. The early 70's would have the T18 and the later would be the SM465. Rick

If you have the strawberry milkshake you might as well tear it down now. It WILL die shortly. The water will steam the clutches off of the plates and it all goes downhill from there. I am surprised you made it home. Just changing the fluid will not work, trust me. It will let you down at the...

AMEN!! Triple those prices for 002's over here in the east. I was going to sell one of my oo2's but I think for now I am going to hold on to it. Jerry, I may be calling you soon if I can ever find the problem with mine. I have to put in another injection pump and see if that solves the problem...

The air cooled diesels run hot enough that wet stacking is not really an issue. As long as you are running it at the rated rpm (Never run it too slow, things burn up!) you will not have to worry about wet stacking. I ran mine for three days after Irene on very light load (could not get the right...

I can pretty much guess how the ensuing conversation with the OC went! I was in Yakima installing a piece of equipment in a printing plant ,5/18/80. The day Mt. St. Helens decided to blow off. Another of those Holy Chit moments as everything went gray, dark, black! I was stuck there for three...

I know a guy, a SS member, who had one rejected. Lost a sweet truck because of it. They said his paperwork did not match his address although he had lived there for years. Got it straightened out later but they had resold the truck. I did not get the letter, I did have the the class 1A clearance...

The transmission is fine, what you are hearing is the parking pawl trying to engage while moving. Picture throwing the car in gear while rolling. You have lost something in the transfer case and it is allowing the transmission to keep turning as if it was rolling. The fact that it is...

My mistake, I was thinking of a powerstroke. I work on several brands. You do not have to be such an a** in pointing it out do you? You could say "you are mistaken" I am and have been a certtified master tech both auto and truck for 42 years. I am still human though and as such I do still make...

You will not get enough power through the test light to engage the fuel solenoid. There is no timing chain in a 6.2. There is a plug in the timing cover you have to pull out to get to the gear bolts to remove the pump. You can see if it is turning through there. If not you probably have a broken...

WOW, Gravelrama! There is a name I haven't heard for a while." Top of the hill club", 4 years running back in the early 70's.[thumbzup] What ever happened to that affair? Rick On edit, I just Googled it and I see it is still going on, the Big Elim does not look as steep or as long as before...

By the way, I said I would never make it to 30, did my best not to. Now I am pushing 60 and paying for those years. Rick

AMEN TOO THAT!!!!!! And those freakin ultraviolet lights too. When they are coming at me I can not see at all, blind!

You forgot to mention skin, Wear gloves. It will dry out your skin very fast and I am sure it is putting bad things into your body in the process. Rick

If you have a nasty tar like gunk in the tank I have found that Xylen works very well at disolving it. Do not use fresh diesel fuel on it because it will get even worse! Ask me how I know. I am still trying to get the stuff off of my hands a year later!

You call THAT mud?! I get dirtier than that in my driveway, all 40 feet of it.rofl:whistle: Rick

Nope, nada, don't see it on my work or home computers. Rick
